I knew firefox was beyond recovery after 1 second so I went for the hammer. That said, because I tend to do a lot if x-displaying over an SSH tunnel which includes some WiFi, I often get situations where E is flashing the status bar of an application I know is just slow and not completely lost. This to me seems to suggest that what you have in E is elegant, but not quite fit for purpose ;-). > You can stuff xkill back into its little box now :) I've been using E17 for about a year now I still find I need it.
